A JustGiving page is the easiest and fastest way for people to sponsor you If you’re unsure of how to set up your page and get started then read through our tips on how to create your page.

Payday

Asking friends and family for donations, for some, can feel a bit daunting, one tip we have is to aim for the end of the month, around payday. most people are feeling flush and therefore more likely to donate.

Communicate internally

If you work in a large office, why not use their internal communications to help you out. Is there an office newsletter or monthly email that is sent to all your colleagues? get your JustGiving page featured and share your story about why you're riding London to Brighton Bike Ride. This will help take the pressure off you having to ask your colleagues for donations.

Friends and Family

Sometimes it’s not what you know but who you know. If you have a large family, ask them to ask their friends or ask them to promote your page at their workplace. It’s time to extend your network of sponsors.
